In an n-sided regular polygon, all sides have the same length and all angles have the same degree (i.e., the polygon is both equilateral and equiangular). Design a class named RegularPolygon that contains: - A private int data field named n that defines the number of sides in the polygon with default value 3. - A private double data field named side that stores the length of the side with default value 1. - A private double data field named x that defines the x-coordinate of the polygon’s center with default value 0. - A private double data field named y that defines the y-coordinate of the polygon’s center with default value 0. - A no-arg constructor that creates a regular polygon with default values. - A constructor that creates a regular polygon with the specified number of sides and length of side, centered at (0, 0). - A constructor that creates a regular polygon with the specified number of sides, length of side, and x- and y-coordinates. - The accessor and mutator methods for all data fields. - The method getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter of the polygon. - The method getArea() that returns the area of the polygon. The formula for computing the area of a regular polygon is  Area =n×s24×tan(πn)\text { Area }=\frac{n \times s^{2}}{4 \times \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{n}\right)} Draw the UML diagram for the class and then implement the class. Write a test program that creates three RegularPolygon objects, created using the no-arg constructor, using RegularPolygon(6, 4), and using RegularPolygon(10, 4, 5.6, 7.8). For each object, display its perimeter and area.

Question

A regular polygon is an n-sided polygon in which all sides are of the same length and all angles have the same degree (i.e., the polygon is both equilateral and equiangular). The formula for computing the area of a regular polygon is:

 Area =n×s24×tan(πn)\text { Area }=\frac{n \times s^2}{4 \times \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{n}\right)}

Write a method that returns the area of a regular polygon using the following header:

public static double area(1nt $\mathrm{n}$, double side)

Write a main method that prompts the user to enter the number of sides and the side of a regular polygon and displays its area.

We need to define two methods: main and area. main method proms the user to enter the number of sides of the polygon and the length of sides of the polygon and prints the area of that polygon. This method is used to test area method. We will use Scanner clas for user input, so we need to import it.

area method takes two arguments n (number of sides) and side (length of each side) and returns the area of the polygon.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
  // main method
  public static void main(String[] args) {}

  // Returns the area of a pentagon
  public static double area(int n, double side){}
}
